Real Madrid Star Has ACL Rupture Confirmed, Reports AS
A player from Real Madrid has suffered a severe ACL injury as reported by AS, who obtained this information from unnamed sources.
A player from Real Madrid has suffered a torn ACL, as reported by AS, who did not reveal their sources.
Three key players from the starting lineup were unable to play either at the beginning or during the 2023/2024 season due to the same injury.
During the week of Matchday 1 against Athletic Club, Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao suffered injuries but managed to return in time to win the La Liga and Champions League titles. However, David Alaba is still recovering from his injury in December and was unable to participate in Euro 2024 with Austria.
The first game of Madrid's preseason unfortunately resulted in another instance of one of the most severe injuries a footballer, especially a winger, can suffer.
What appeared to be a perfect situation for winger Cesar Palacios suddenly became a very difficult situation.
Even though he played his first game for Real Madrid's main team by entering the game at the beginning of the second half during the 1-0 defeat against AC Milan in Chicago, he experienced a sudden pain just four minutes later due to a strong tackle from Malick Thiaw.
Palacios was able to leave Soldier Field without assistance and seemed relaxed as he chatted with teammates on the bench, giving the impression that there was no urgent situation.
After the game, coach Carlo Ancelotti gave a press conference where he expressed negative feelings by stating, "Things are not looking positive." AS has reported that the team's worst concerns have now come true.
Palacios has torn the ACL in his right knee, and will probably head back to Spain tomorrow to undergo a more detailed examination once he arrives.
His team must also decide if surgery is necessary for the 18-year-old, depending on the seriousness of the injury.
With the high level of talent that Ancelotti has in his team, Palacios would have found it challenging to secure a spot in the first team going forward.
It is unfortunate that he never had the opportunity to show what he is capable of, and now Raul's Castilla team is also missing their main left winger.
AS says that Palacios is known for being a very positive person who works hard and stays humble.
He was very close to leaving Madrid this summer to join Athletic Club in Bilbao, but now everything is on hold since he may miss the entire upcoming season due to some unfortunate news.
